Because she’s cool and will get the significance.
Also, I want to make a set of the Puff ones for myself…

for zorascreation, who wanted someone to do a female version of Kingsley Shacklebolt.
Though I kept it Kingsley instead of Kandace
Just because I think Kingsley is a beautiful name for a woman!
Hope this counts as kickass, darlin!
… 
**fun fact: we don’t actually learn what Kingsley’s wand is, so I went with pear wood.
The HP WIKI describes pear wands as “wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in the experience of the learned wandmaker Garrick Ollivander, usually popular and well-respected and he never knew of single instance where a pear wand has been discovered in the possession of a Dark witch or wizard.”
Sounds like Kingsley to me!
Also, the fur on her robes is lynx, which happens to be Kingsley’s patronus. Just cuz I love drawing fur trim…

WAAAHHHHHHH FINALLY FINISHED!!!
I’m not too happy with the lips, but I finally just gave up and accepted it for what it is.
Obvs this is the shrunken down version (the real one is 6k by 9k pixels)
Not sure what to title it, or what it’s about, but it’s completely digitally painted and I love it.
(Also I’m jealous of her mohawk)
